The Abyss - Robyn Hitchcock

In the abyss, i don’t know

In the heart of me i’m blind

Blind as if there was snow

Drifting through my mind

I don’t know what is true

But my compass points to you

When it’s quivering like this…

In the abyss

There are things

That swirl before my eyes

They’ve got horns, they’ve got wings

They were born to tantalise

Is it true what i see

Or is it all inside of me?

When it’s flickering like this

When you’re in a place like this

Mmm hmm

In the abyss

In the abyss

You can feel

The pressure on your skin

From the tip of your heel

To the face your eyes are in

If you go down there with me

What are we going to see?

When you hear the serpent hiss

And you’re aching for the kiss

Mmm hmm

And you’re in a place like this

Oh

In the abyss
